| Summary | "The Saxons in England, Volume 2" by John Mitchell Kemble is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the historical development of the Anglo-Saxon period, focusing on the consolidation of power and the introduction of Christianity in England. It articulates the complex transformation of societal norms and governance up until the Norman Conquest, making it a valuable resource for those interested in English history and its political evolution. The opening of this volume establishes the context for the discussion by referencing the obscurantism surrounding early Anglo-Saxon history due to scarce contemporary records. Kemble contrasts this with the more extensive historical materials available for the later periods, asserting that the book will explore how the Anglo-Saxon institutions evolved through various compromises and adaptations. Specifically, he introduces two central themes: the growth of the kingly power and the integration of Christianity, framing them as critical to understanding the political landscape of England during the era. The beginning hints at an intricate examination of the power dynamics among various kingdoms, a topic that lays the groundwork for the detailed chapters that follow in this comprehensive historical narrative.
